The national championships in France are not qualifying events for FAI/ISC World Championships or World Cups. Instead, the national coach — currently Mathieu Bernier for formation skydiving — selects the members of the national teams from across the country’s formation skydiving community. He also works closely with other experienced coaches and competitors while monitoring the development teams that train and compete alongside the national squads, including the 4-way Open team Aethers and the 4-way Women team Nephtys. In addition, he oversees the 8-way event and sets the priorities for the
French delegation.
Neither Aethers nor Nephtys appeared on the leaderboard of the national indoor championships, as both teams were in the middle of their preparations for the FAI Indoor World Cup one month later. It was an especially busy period for the two 4-way teams and Mathieu Bernier, as France also entered an 8-way team at short notice. The combined AethersNephtys lineup eventually secured the 8-way gold medals for the French delegation.

Thomas Misztal later competed with Les Krocmous Lille at the FAI Indoor World Cup, where the team finished in 6th place. Marie Pineau’s Nephtys outdoor teammate Alexandra Petitjean was also part of the Krocmous lineup, once again alongside Thomas Chomel. Thomas Misztal and Thomas Chomel additionally trained and competed with 8-way team D'Arc8, which earned the bronze medals at the FAI Indoor World Cup 2026.
Former French 8-way world champion Bruno Perin even stepped away from his desk duties at Weembi Lille to complete the Zip les Manchots lineup in Paris.
The full Aerokart Ak'demie lineup challenged the world-class Zip les Manchots team throughout all ten rounds at Aerokart Paris and finished only five points behind in 2nd place (246–241). It proved to be the perfect warm-up event less than four weeks before the FAI Indoor World Cup, where the young team secured a Top 10 finish and tied Belgium’s AYRO for 9th place.

Les Hermines still competed with Marie Elisabeth Cordon in the lineup at the French Indoor Championship before
Nephtys outdoor member Gaelle Giesen took over the slot at Weembi Lille.
More family-centered 4-way competition took place at Aerokart Paris, where father Jean-Pierre Roussanides competed alongside his sons Antoine and Florian Roussanides for La R Force. Last but not least, Deep Blue 4-way Women world champion of 2010, Francoise Simons, shared the flying chamber with her son Eliott Hamouchi Simons, who also grew up in the Aerokart Paris wind tunnel. It was his first AAA Class competition.
